TN 7567 - Installation of Chain Certificate into iPlanet 4.x

Question:

How do I install a chain certificate in iPLanet 4.x?

Answer:

To install the Entrust L1B Chain Certificate in your web server you should;

1. Click Install Certificate.
2. Under Certificate For: select Server Certificate Chain.
3. Cryptographic module should be Internal (Software).
4. Enter the Trust Database password in the Key Pair File Password box.
5. Enter "Entrust L1B Chain Certificate" (without the quotes) as the Certificate Name.
6. Select Message Text (with headers).
7. Open a Web browser and go to the URL that appears in the confirmation email you received from Entrust. Your certificates are displayed. The Entrust SSL Certificate is in the section named "Entrust SSL Certificate" and the chain certificate is in the section named "Entrust L1B chain certificate". The certificates look similar to this example:
